More To Worry About

June 22, 1985

THE RIDICULOUS FUTILITY of Sunday liquor sales laws in Orlando is glaringly obvious at the corner of Michigan Street and South Orange Avenue. The city limits run just below this intersection. One liquor outlet, east of Orange, is a few feet inside the line and must close on Sunday. Another, across the street, is a few feet outside the line and does a land-office business. These establishments are about 100 yards apart.

Most opposition to Sunday openings has come from pastors and others who fear that it might keep people from observing the Sabbath or attending church. If this really would happen, I suggest that they have much more to worry about than seventh-day liquor sales.
